                                | The CCTV video shows a cleaner carrying out some moppage in the Jervis Shopping Centre in Dublin. An apple from a nearby fruit stand falls off the stack and rolls to a stop in the middle of the floor. The slight time lapse video then shows the apple rolling back and forth across the floor, stopping for several few seconds before rolling to the other side. Is this simply an apple that's subject to natural causes or is the Jervis Poltergeist trying to get it's 5 a day but failing miserably?.

 I think two Oranges and a Banana called for the lift. They were trying to get as far from the Smoothie Bar as possible.

                                | Now that is strange how it moved back and forth - it would take someone with a lot of imagination to come up with this and hoax it, so it is most likely genuine IMO 
 It's funny I have been where that has happened

                                | Of course something like that is a possibility, but it just seems unlikely to me - I don't believe any natural forces could have made the apple move back and forth, so it is either a hoax or real, and it does just seem unlikely to be a hoax to me so...  |  |

 One of the best known hauntings in the annals of ghostdom turned out to be hoaxes - Borley Rectory. I'm sure a wayward apple is quite within the hoaxing universe.
 I've seen magazines fall rom the top shelves of displays with no one within yards - objects fall due to their mass, precarious positioning and our old friend Mr Gravity.
 The apple rolling about on the floor is either subject to supernatural forces or it's being moved by a human agent.
 Occam's Razor says it's probably cleaner's friend.

                                | For now the cause will remain unknown - maybe someday the culprit will confess - whether he is living or not  |  |
